Easy Lemon Tart

Recently my first-born daughter turned nine. Instead of requesting an elaborate themed birthday cake (phew, no fondant or intricate cake decorating this time) she asked for a Lemon Tart. She’s a lemon lover just like her mama and she said she wanted something a little more sophisticated this time (being so grown up now!). My parents used to own a restaurant and winery down on the Mornington Peninsula and my mum baked many of the desserts. Fleur’s Lemon Curd Tart was legendary and was a permanent feature on the menu. This isn’t her recipe (sorry) but it is a cheats version and simply sublime. This recipe is from Taste and it’s easy as pie, albeit a little fiddly/time consuming. The result, however, is heavenly.
